Statement of the Kentucky Association of Manufacturers on the Proposed Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023

Frank Jemley III, President and CEO of the Kentucky Association of Manufacturers, issued the following statement this afternoon: 

“The Kentucky Association of Manufacturers applauds the agreement between President Biden and Speaker McCarthy that has produced the Fiscal Responsibility Act of 2023. By averting a catastrophic default on the fiscal obligations of the United States and producing a genuine compromise on important fiscal and other public policy goals, the legislation is a win for the American economy. For Kentucky and our nation as a whole, we urge the members of Kentucky’s Congressional Delegation to support the bill as written and its passage without delay.”
